Somehow I just love these 1-0 throwback pitchers duels. Last nights was a great example. For the Cubs, Hendricks was terrific, in complete command from the start. It's kind of a pity these guys aren't allowed or expected to pitch complete games as they were in the days of the Jentkins and Gibson duels.
As for the Cubs, they have won 5 of their last 7. Beginning with the Cardinals game, the lights seem to have gone on for them. Maybe Chili Davis had a meeting and/or they figured it out, but they seem like a different team since them. They are not striking out as much, they are not trying to hit home runs in every at-bat. All around playing well.
